Local Voters Hoping For Cooperation In Washington D.C.
After Tuesday's election, America is essentially right where it was before voters went to the polls.

After Tuesday's election, America is essentially right where it was before voters went to the polls.
Police estimated the crowd at the IBEW Union Hall on Pittsburgh's South Side at 500 Tuesday night as Democrats gathered to celebrate what they hoped were victories in the election.
While Mitt Romney talks about binders full of women, Democrats have ballots full of women.
History would suggest that winning Pennsylvania in Tuesday's Presidential Election is an uphill climb for Republican nominee Mitt Romney. However, his campaign suggests there's a growing GOP momentum in the Keystone State.
Former President Bill Clinton has become President Obama's surrogate-in-chief, making nearly two dozen campaign stops in the last week alone. Today, Clinton hit Pittsburgh.
Unfortunately, political poll after political poll reveals that the presidential election of 2012 has much to do – in fact, more to do – with the race of the presidential candidate than most anything else.
On Friday, President Barack Obama told his supporters at a campaign rally – inside a public high school, no less – to vote for revenge!
As the campaign draws to a close it has become very apparent that Obama will return to the White House and that Harry Reid will lead a Democratic Senate.
Both political parties – Republicans and Democrats – are known for getting carelessly carried away with name calling when stakes and tensions are high in the political arena. Regardless, there is no excuse for the type of name-calling that has surfaced over the past week.
Local Democrats tried to counter-punch Congressman Paul Ryan, even before he even arrived Saturday morning.
It doesn't matter who's elected president - federal payroll taxes to fund Social Security are going up on January 1st. Most people don't seem aware of it.
Outside the student union building on the Pitt campus Thursday, the voter registration table was open for business as students energized by last night's debate were signing up.
The whole controversy over voter ID is full of politics. Republicans, who said they wanted to safeguard the election process, admitted it might give Mitt Romney the edge in Pennsylvania. And Democrats said the bill was designed to keep Democrats from voting in big cities.
For all the billions spent by the Obama and Romney campaigns, Republican and Democratic parties, and countless outside groups, we may wake up November 7th to a Washington that is virtually unchanged.
If the GOP wants a candidate to "man up", they should tell Mitt Romney to grow up and stop hiding his returns and stop disparaging working Americans for meeting their tax obligations while he dodges his.
The idea that 47 percent of Americans don't have "personal responsibility" or "care for their lives" is shockingly arrogant, even by Mitt Romney's standards.
Pennsylvania's Supreme Court heard arguments Thursday morning over the state's new voter ID law. At issue is whether the new law, requiring each voter to show valid photo identification, poses an unnecessary burden on the right to vote.
Tomorrow, the State Supreme Court will take on a legal challenge to Pennsylvania's new Voter Identification Law.
The media keeps suggesting that the racism regarding candidates has to do with whites not wanting to vote for a black man, even though Barack Obama won a presidential election with a great amount of white support in 2008. What the media isn't talking about is the NBC-Wall Street survey results which say that there are basically no black supporters for the Caucasian candidate, Mitt Romney, in 2012.
The early returns are in and, according to the Neilson rating company, the Democrats beat the Republicans... and the NFL.
Have you ever wondered what makes a politician's ego so big? Or how they see themselves as a "divine" power if the people would believe in them?
In an odd turn of events, the Republicans in Tampa nominated real life versions of their cartoon versions of Kerry and Gore. Republicans thought John Kerry should be criticized for changing positions. But Kerry is not in the same league as Romney who ran as a pro-choice candidate and promised to do more for gay rights than Ted Kennedy.
Last night, Clint Eastwood produced the most bizarre and uncomfortable moments in modern convention history. If Mitt Romney cannot get his campaign right. If he cannot even get the things that he can control right, how can he make the case that he can run the country?
The whole concept of warring on women is totally sexist. The truth is that women are speaking for themselves, doing a damn good job of expressing their views quite clearly and eloquently, and they don't need the media speaking for them – especially the male-intense media of 2012.
Republicans are kept accountable for their own misspeaks and actions. Unlike the Democrats' life jacket being tossed out to a sinking politician by the Party, when a Republican politician does the inexcusable, the Republican Party throws him an anchor – and that's how it should be.
